Morning Light - Numbers 1

[Today: Numbers 1] What Tribe Are You in God? Introduction to the Book of Numbers. The book of Numbers gets its name from the various census that God instructs Moses to take. The people were numbered by tribes, clans, and families. Did you know there are tribes in God? What tribe are you? God numbers people to prepare them for war - When man numbers the people, he gets into trouble. In Numbers 1, God instructs Moses to number the people for the third time since leaving Egypt. This is done to prepare them for the conquest of Canaan. Though they were in the wilderness, every day was a preparation for the land of milk and honey. Are you walking through a wilderness place in your life? When you are in the wilderness, God is always preparing you likewise for the next season of conquest.
